The Secretary of the Treasury shall prohibit a United States financial institution, and any person owned or controlled by a United States financial institution, from engaging in a significant transaction with— a natural person covered by a report made under section 2(a); and the immediate family of a person described under paragraph (1), if the Secretary finds that such immediate family benefits from funds described in the report. Subsection
(a)shall not apply with respect to any intelligence, law enforcement, or national security activity of the United States. The President may waive the application of subsection
(a)with respect to a person upon reporting to the appropriate Members of Congress that— the waiver would substantially promote the objective of ending the threat described under section 2(a)(1); the threat described under section 2(a)(1) is no longer present; or the waiver is essential to the national security interests of the United States. The reports required under paragraph
(2)shall be submitted in unclassified form but may contain a classified annex. Nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing or requiring any sanction with respect to the importation of any good. In this paragraph, the term good means any article, natural or manmade substance, material, supply or manufactured product, including inspection and test equipment, and excluding technical data.

(b)and
(c)of section 206 of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ( 50 U.S.C. 1705 ) to the same extent as a person that commits an unlawful act described in subsection
(a)of that section 206. This section shall have no force or effect on the earlier of— the date that is 30 days after the date that the President reports to the appropriate Members of Congress that the threat described under section 2(a)(1) is no longer present; or the date that is 25 years after the date that the Secretary of the Treasury submits the final report required under section 2(a)(1).
